every morning i keep seeing women wince, if ever so slightly, as they walk to work from the mrt station. and they walk so slowly, it's amazing.
i'm absolutely 100% guarantee plus chop sure that if women all wore flats to work productivity would increase. not just because of parts 1&2 of the flip flop theory (see below), but also because they'd be able to walk a whole lot faster. doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that if they walk faster, they get to work faster, get back from lunch break faster, and all these extra minutes will eventually add up.
someone should do a study.
after having eaten about four jollibean cheese pancakes for breakfast in the past two and a half weeks, i've decided that the cheese they use is la va qui'nuit (how do you spell it, someone correct me please). anyway it's the laughing cow cheese la. the one and only tasty cheese just right for me!
best friends
before jonong, quen and ian, way before law school and after abi and stella, there was dexter. who was really a best friend - we had long nonsensical conversations about everything and when i was 14 and he was 15 and he first broke up with his then girlfriend (i say first because there were subsequent times) i was there when he cried - and cried, and cried some more. and he was probably the first person i had one of those very honest pacts with - you know how there are some things you just don't say to good friends because it's just too weird, but with best friends you can and you do make these very honest, albeit rather weird pacts? ours was, if his then girlfriend asked him to stop talking to me then we just had to, and it wouldn't mean that we weren't still best friends because we would still just understand, being best friends.
that wasn't why they kept quarrelling la, because i was best friends with him, but it's funny in a "was i really like that?" way to look back and wonder why the heck you took yourself so seriously at that age. i guess everyone does it, or Growing Up wouldn't be Growing Up, it'd just be growing up.
but i thought about dexter because there were three - four? of us who always hung out together, and we each represented a part of alphaville's forever young:
some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
whenever someone started the song we'd have to continue with our assigned bits. i think i was melody. i can't quite remember anymore, and when i was 14 i thought i'd remember forever.
and i thought of the song because i thought
the sun, the sand, the sea; love, life and being free
came from it, but it didn't. i've googled it about four times and i've decided that it was just something one of us came up with. i could always ring him to ask, but it's a bit early.
and i thought of the sun sand sea because - nah, i shan't blog about it. it's a because that'll remain a secret simply because some things are meant to be treasured as secrets.
